This bug affects me as well and as many of the people in earlier comments I have a HP laptop as well (EliteBook 840 G3).
The workaround in #5 works for me as well. Could systemd be thinking that the laptops are docked even if they are not? I also noticed that the folder /sys/devices/platform/dock.0 is missing on my laptop. This folder is supposed to contain a file with the docked status. Maybe this is the cause of our problems? Other people affected by this: Could you check if the /sys/device/platform/dock.0 folder is missing for you too? Next question would be how to fix it, I don't know the answer to that... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574120 Title: Notebook doesn't suspend when lid is closed after update to 16.04 Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: My notebook does not suspend after upgrading from 15.10 to 16.04. According to system settings the notebook should suspend when lid is closed but actually this does not happen. Instead it continues to run as if nothing had happened.
